Aegean Fish Assemblage: Body Shape Analysis Reveals Lessepsian Invader Traits

The Lessepsian round herring *Etrumeus golanii* is not just passing through the Aegean; it is making a measurable claim on the assemblage. By applying geometric morphometrics to 281 specimens from a single purse seine haul, researchers have quantified what the eye suspects: this invader's body shape is distinct, particularly from the European anchovy, while showing greater similarity to the sardine. The differences are anatomical, spanning the head and caudal peduncle.
